Antimicrobials are used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. The Antimicrobial IV biochip test has been specifically engineered to detect 37 aminoglycosides and macrolide compounds that may be present in honey. This multiplexing screening technology allows the simultaneous detection of these compounds from a single honey sample.
The below table highlights all the compounds that this test screens for using a single sample.
